The good news is that the patched version is noticeably better with frame rates that are uniformly higher. The original version on the Switch often fell below 30 fps with occasional drops blow 20 fps. The game is capped at 30 fps on the Switch which is a substantial step down from the 50 to 60 fps frame rates found on the vanilla PS4 and Xbox One consoles. Credit: Digital Foundryįrame rate is critical for a game like Doom that is all about fast paced combat. The patched version of 'Doom' has uniformly higher frame rates. With motion blur enabled, Digital Foundry recorded screenshots where resolution was the same for both versions, better for the patched version, or better for the original version. The patched version is an improvement to some degree. Objects at a distance rendered at something that looked like 360p. When Doom is docked, resolution in the original hovered around 1088 x 612 when undocked resolution dropped to somewhere in the neighborhood of 576p.

The original version occasionally hits this mark when very little is happening.

The screen on the Switch has a native 720p (1280 x 720) resolution. (If some technical terms are unfamiliar, check out this guide. The result is that resolution can be all over the place depending on what’s happening on screen at any given moment. In addition, pixel counts on the vertical and horizontal axes scale independently. Doom makes use of aggressive dynamic scaling in order to maintain a high frame rate during its fast-paced and intense combat.
